When I see my tortoises stretched out basking asleep, I think they are dreaming of the next stage of their evolution, which they believe is flight, based on the fact that they spend time on the glass not trying to get out but trying to get airborne. If they wanted out, surely they would ram the glass and break it. My Uro climbs the glass not to escape but to get to the refrigerator where he knows the good greens are. Doves released at weddings fly away not to be free but to feed hawks and uphold an agreement hawks and doves made long ago.
These are just some of my thoughts.
